View Full Version : Cable Routing Help (Frame is All Tubes, No Brazeons/Guides)

I am building up a frame that has no downtube cable stop brazeons, no top tube guides, no bottom bracket guide (or the screw for it) and no chainstay cable stop for the RD. Its nothing but tubes.

What do I need for the cable routing?

The obvious is that everything needs to be clamp on, making the brakes an easy fix. However, getting the proper clamp on stops for the derailleurs, especially the back, is tougher.

Also, If anyone has all this stuff in the parts bin, let me know!

Thanks,

I have a lot of the stuff you need, but it would be helpful to know what you are trying to do, and on what frame. Pictures never hurt, either.

....or you can run full length housing and then you'll only need a stop for the front derailleur.

This.

I am not sure if you can source nice cable clamps for the chainstay tubes or not, but you could always (cringe) zip-tie the housings in place.

This stuff is still out there. Here is the first Google hit: http://compare.ebay.com/like/170581752491?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&_lwgsi=y&cbt=y

I recently did a bike with current production stainless top tube guides by Genetic:

Campy style cable over BB derailleur cable guides come to mind but really I'd go full housing with clamp around type guides. You'll be invulnerable to bad conditions!
